Hmm.. This is somewhat embarrassing, but I made a couple of further
tests, and I'd like to sum up my view on this matter at this time:

* The "Regional Formats" setting in Language Support affects the LANG
  environment variable, which typically determines the region specific
  formats settings for most applications.

* The display formats of time and date in Unity's top bar are not
  controlled by the LANG variable, but are instead explicitly set in the
  Time & Date tool that e.g. can be launched from the Control Center.

* As regards the weekday and month names, they are displayed in the
  language that is set on the "Language" tab in Language Support.
  Please see the attachment "weekday-month-lang-unity.png".

I would say that Achim's observation regarding the display language of
weekday and month names is not a bug, but it's an improvement compared
to how it works in the Classic Desktop (or, if you like, a feature).

Before closing this bug, I for one would appreciate confirmations from
both Achim and somebody from the Unity team that my latest 'theory' is
correct, and that I didn't overlook anything important again. :-/
Awaiting those comments I change the bug status to "Incomplete".
